Ji Cheng knew that Steward Long was the most powerful and loyal assistant by her father's side, so she didn't hide anything from him.

"Uncle Long, there is one thing that the second prince said is right, since he has made up his mind to do so, it is not us, he will also pick others. Now that the second son has taken a fancy to the Ji family, the Ji family has no way out. Knowing too much about things, it's impossible to get out of it all the way. Ji Cheng said.

Long Yin nodded, "The master is also not worried about the girl, so he asked me to go to the Beijing Division, the girl said that the master understands all these truths, and he also asked me to come to the Beijing Division to assist the girl." ”

Ji Cheng nodded, "I'm afraid that Daddy can't do without you, and if you want to do that thing, the focus is Jinbei, and it's useless for you to help me in Jingshi." You go back and talk to your father, no matter whether my business is successful or not, I will return to Jindi next spring at the latest, so don't worry about it. ”

Long Yin said: "Actually, after reading the girl's letter, the old man already has a plan in his heart." What did the girl think? The Tan family has always been stuck with ordnance, and we used to have to beg their family for goods, but now how did this matter begin? ”

Ji Cheng said: "Uncle Long, I have a letter here for Brother Ziyun, when I discussed with the second son, my request was to let him keep the Ji family and the Ling family. If we can join forces with the Ling family, this matter will be much easier. I hope Brother Ziyun can agree after reading my letter. Ji Cheng sighed, she and Ling Ziyun were no longer what they used to be, and they weren't sure if he would agree.

"Uncle Long, now that there are people around me who are watching, this letter can only be forwarded to you, and if there is anything in the future, I can only ask you to run on both sides. If you have someone who can be trusted, let him run on both sides of Jindi and Jingshi, and if faith falls into the hands of others, it will be a scourge after all. Ji Cheng said.

"I understand. This time I brought my apprentice with me. "Long Yin introduced Xiao Tokuchuan to Ji Cheng, he was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old child, thin and weak, easy to be ignored, and it was indeed appropriate for him to pass the message on both sides.

After returning to the Shen Mansion, Ji Cheng thought that she was now an errand boy for Shen Che, and in order to reassure her master, she also had to reply, but she was too lazy to see Shen Che, and she was disgusted when she thought about it. Now Ji Cheng's news is also well-informed, and when she was in Orchid Lane, someone stabbed her about the little fish fairy.

Ji Cheng has seen how Chu De's group of people play with women, and now they are actually playing with people's lives, these people are not things like dogs, women are cheap, and even women are sad. Ji Cheng also thought countless times that if she was a man, then her distress would be gone.

"Call Nangui over." Ji Cheng said to Liu Ye'er, "By the way, how is she these days?" ”

Liu Ye'er said: "Don't worry, girl, even if I'm not there, I'll let people look at her, and I'll be in order, neither asking nor looking at her." But it seems that the martial arts are really good, they fight boxing in the morning and evening, they are tigers and tigers, they don't lie down when they sleep at night, and they sit cross-legged and say that they are pranayama. ”

Ji Cheng thought to herself that this was not a profound one, it was really simple, but based on her guess about Shen Che, if Nan Gui could be simple, Ji Cheng would take off her brain and kick it as a ball.

When Nan Gui arrived, Ji Cheng said slowly: "Nan Gui, please tell the second son, my father has already replied to me......

Seeing that Ji Cheng was about to confide in him, Nan Gui hurriedly interrupted: "Girl, the second son is just responsible for passing on a message to the slave maid to you. As soon as the inside story is qiē, Nan Gui doesn't dare to know. If the girl has something to say, the slave can tell the son, but the girl has to tell the second son in person. ”

Ji Cheng squinted her eyes, sure enough, it was exactly the same as she expected, Nan Gui would never dare to hear the details, and she, Ji Cheng, why did a yellow flower girl want to talk to Shen Che in private? If someone finds out, what will she do?

All the risks were pressed on the Ji family and her, Shen Che's tail was clean, and Ji Cheng was angry when he thought about it.

But of course it can't be shown on the surface, Ji Cheng said with a soft smile on his face: "Then Nangui, you can tell the second son, saying that I have something to tell him." ”

Nangui nodded.

When Nan Gui left, Yu Qian'er ran to Ji Cheng and reported, "Girl, it's a god, you didn't see Nan Gui's movements, and flew to the roof with a bang, and there was no shadow in the blink of an eye." ”

Probably because I had seen Shen Che's body as light as a swallow, the so-called light skills were no longer in Ji Cheng's imagination, and this time Nan Gui's matter did not touch her too much.

It's rare and strange for Yu Qian'er to scream.

With Nangui's rank, Shen Che could not be seen, and her direct person in charge was a person named "Twelve", that is, her master. Before coming to Ji Cheng's side, Nan Gui had already carried out many missions, all of which were extremely dangerous, and this mission was like giving her recuperation.

But in the past so many times of birth and death missions, Nan Gui has not been able to meet the "Jing Master" of Jing Shijun, and even her master Twelve does not report directly to the Jing Lord. Who knew that such a simple task was seen by her this time, and it was also a task ordered by Lord Jing himself.

Nangui stayed in the secret room excitedly and waited for news. In fact, she didn't know that the second son of the Shen family was the "Jing Master", but once she saw Ma Chao in her master's house.

Her master was respectful to Ma Chao, and she knew at a glance that Ma Chao was a higher-level person, and now Nangui saw Ma Chao, the chief steward of Jiuli Courtyard, in the Shen family. Although Ma Chao went to see her master in disguise at that time, this time Nangui still recognized the chief steward Ma Chao at first sight.

It's not that Ma Chao is unfavorable to cover up, but Nan Gui's natural ability is to never forget the people he has seen, no matter how they disguise themselves or how disguised, Nan Gui can recognize them.

Originally, the master of the Ma Dynasty may not be the Lord of Jing, but when Nan Gui saw Shen Che, he somehow decided that he must be the Lord of Jing - the leader of the Jing Army who many people wanted to find out the exact identity.

Hearing the sound of a wheel sliding, Nan Gui looked up and saw a wooden cart slowly descending from a high place, and Shen Che, who was dressed in purple robes and wearing a jade crown, appeared in front of Nan Gui.

Nan Gui only glanced at it, and immediately buried her head and lowered her eyelids, she has seen so many people and experienced so many things over the years, only when she sees Shen Che, she will involuntarily bow her head, so Nan Gui thinks that who else can be the master of Jing besides him? The one who is said to have cultivated to the realm of perfection, and the kung fu ghosts and gods are unpredictable.

For a person like Nan Gui who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, how could an idler let her bow her head without doing anything. Although Nan Gui couldn't see Shen Che's cultivation, and he wasn't even sure if he would be martial arts, because his appearance looked too harmless, but if he stood there, it wasn't that he was overwhelming, but Nan Gui wanted to be weak. With this extraordinary intuition, Nangui escaped death several times.

Nan Gui lowered her head and waited for Lord Jing to speak, she actually didn't expect that it was just a message, and Lord Jing would actually come down to see her in person.

Shen Che looked at Nan Gui who was standing with his head bowed and standing in an orderly manner, which was different from the shrewd and meticulous Nan Gui in Ma Chao and the Twelve Mouths.

Shen Che glanced at Nan Gui again, and he probably understood in his heart that Nan Gui had guessed her identity.

"How did you guess who I am?" Shen Che asked directly, since there was a flaw, he naturally had to ask the reason and then remedy it.

Nan Gui confessed the reason in a low voice, Shen Che was also speechless, he couldn't control this kind of thing that would make the other party's legs weak if he didn't do anything, but most people in this world would not be as keen as Nan Gui, and Nan Gui was only able to guess his identity at once because he was in the Jing Shijun.

Shen Che didn't think it was too much, and felt that it was appropriate to put Nangui next to Ji Cheng.

"Ji Cheng's affairs over there can't be the slightest mistake, but if you don't understand anything or feel that something is abnormal, you have to sue me." Shen Che said.

Nangui nodded firmly.

In fact, those who do their job will go through the information by themselves first, and they have their own judgments, some things choose to report, and some inconsequential things are concealed. But hearing Lord Jing say this, Nan Gui immediately understood, anyway, no matter how big or small, as long as there is an abnormality, he must report it.

Let Shen Che personally ask, Nan Gui thought that this matter must be very important, so although Ji Cheng and her girls have been very good to her in the past few days, and they don't look at her differently because of her "meticulous" identity, but Lord Jing has already spoken, and there is no human affection to talk about.

Ji Cheng did bow down to others with this intention in mind.

"Girl, don't you respond when you look at Nan Gui? Every time, I was afraid that she would talk about it. Yu Qian'er had palpitations, but fortunately, Liu Ye'er and Nangui lived in the same room.

Ji Cheng didn't hide Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er from the Ji family, in fact, there were some things that shouldn't have been told to them, but they were his right-hand men, staying by his side all day long, and many things couldn't be hidden. Only half of the words will cause misunderstandings and may be bad, so Ji Cheng gave Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er a gorgeous choice.

At the beginning, Ji Cheng wanted to marry the two girls out to be the head of the wife, marry into an ordinary family, and with the dowry prepared by Ji Cheng for them, they can definitely live in their in-laws' nostrils. But once Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er knew too much, especially after knowing about Jing Shijun, Ji Cheng couldn't let them go.

The two girls and Ji Cheng are like sisters, and they also feel sorry for her situation, so they both said that they would never leave Ji Cheng, so Ji Cheng has nothing to hide from them.

Since Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er are tied to Ji Cheng in the same boat, Ji Cheng's plan in her heart is that if she marries in the future, she will take Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er into the house, she is not a jealous person, and she doesn't care whose house the man sleeps in a little more, Ji Cheng, the child born by Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er, will also treat it as her own, and if it is necessary to record it in her name as a sister-in-law, she is also very willing. It is impossible to hurt the love of sisters for so many years for a man.

It was Ji Cheng who didn't worry about the future of Liu Ye'er and Yu Qian'er, anyway, with her to eat, she wouldn't be hungry for the two girls.

But that's really too early.

said that Ji Cheng got Nan Gui's reply, and thought that he was going to brave the wind and snow to climb over the wall to "tryst" Shen Che at night, but he didn't know that Nan Gui led her to a well in the northeast corner of the back of the courtyard.

This is the place where the servant woman fetches water and washes clothes on weekdays, and it is relatively remote, and everyone in the house is asleep at this time. People who work hard are hard, and when they fall asleep, they die and snort everywhere.

Ji Cheng looked at his own appearance reflected in the well, and looked back at Nangui, "Are you sure I want to go down?" Ji Cheng weighed it in his heart, he was not very afraid of being able to pour water, but he was very cold.

The water level of this well is not high, and it is about a foot down to reach the water. Nan Gui picked up Ji Cheng and jumped down, stuck on the well wall with one kick and didn't know what he kicked, there were actually two doors on the well wall, Nan Gui hugged Ji Cheng and flashed in.

Nan Gui sent Ji Cheng to the foot of Jiuli Courtyard all the time, and then he spoke: "Girl, going up from this staircase is the secret room at the bottom of Jiuli Courtyard." The slave and maid will not go up, but wait for you here. ”

When Ji Cheng went up from the stairs, the shock in his heart had not yet dissipated, the underground passage just now led in all directions, there was such a secret passage, even if the Shen family was raided, the people who should escape could escape.

And although the secret passage is twisted and twisted, Ji Cheng can feel that there is a doorway inside, since Ji Cheng got the cracking method of the bamboo forest from Shen Che, although she has not studied the formation, she can sense that this secret passage is also arranged in the formation. Even if someone else breaks in and can't untie the formation, it's in vain.

Ji Cheng knocked on his brain, when the Ji family was rebuilt, he also built a secret passage and secret room, but compared with the secret passage of the Shen Mansion, it can really be laughed off, in the end, it is still too far behind in terms of background, knowledge, and knowledge.

When Ji Cheng went up the stairs to the secret room on the ground, it was different from the one she met with Shen Che last time, but think about it, Jiuliyuan is located on a small hill, although this hill is built by people, but the area is not lower, so I don't know how many secret rooms of this size are hidden under Jiuliyuan.

The secret room was empty, except for a small boxy table in the middle, on which there was a stack of ledgers, and two futons were placed on either side.

Shen Che was sitting on one of the futons.

"Ah Cheng." Shen Che said with a smile.

Ji Cheng was most afraid of hearing Shen Che call her "Ah Cheng", and the royal majesty's closeness was usually a prelude to wanting to enslave the other party, not to mention that the name of the daughter's family was not spread to the outside world, only from the mouth of the elders, and entered the ears of the husband.

Ji Cheng also smiled and sat down on the futon, "Cousin Che should call me cousin, it's closer." ”

Shen Che smiled silently, and reminded Ji Cheng of a truth with a silent smile. Don't be a subordinate and refute the master's words.

Ji Cheng shrugged, "But my cousin can call it whatever he likes." ”

"It seems that Ah Cheng got good news from his uncle." Shen Che collected the smile on his face, which suddenly made Ji Cheng feel the pressure again.

When this person laughs, you think he is scheming against you, but when he doesn't laugh, you are afraid that you will provoke any of his hairs, which is really difficult to serve.

"Yes. My father said that our Ji family is a third life and is fortunate to be able to cooperate with Cousin Che, and our sincerity is full. Ji Cheng said, since he has decided to go into the water, he will not look back at the shore again, thinking that his clothes are not wet and there is still a way back.

Shen Che nodded and motioned for Ji Cheng to continue.

"In the past few years, my father's health has not been good, and the business has been handed over to me to take care of, but it is inconvenient for my daughter's family to come forward with many things, so many businesses of the Ji family have always taken a conservative attitude and have not developed. Although it is still ranked number one in Jindi, it still lacks confidence to compete with the Tan family for the business of armaments. I thought it would be best to contact the Ling family to fight against the Tan family. Ji Cheng said.

Shen Che said: "No need. Whatever you need, I'm here to support you. However, time is too short, so I have only raised three million taels of silver for you, and I can raise another five million taels for you next spring. ”

Good guy, the Ji family's entire family property is only four million now, and Shen Che opened his mouth to be three million taels of liquid silver.

Shen Che naturally saw Ji Cheng's eyes slightly open in surprise, and smiled bitterly, "Don't think that I am rich and rich, it is far from enough for such a little silver to run the entire Jing Shi Army." Therefore, I asked Ah Cheng to help sincerely. ”

Shen Che's gaze swept to the stack of ledgers on the table, "This is the ledger of the Western Trade Route, since Ah Cheng has already started to trade armaments with those people in the Western Regions, he will not bother the two masters, please take care of this road together." Of course, I won't let Ah Cheng contribute in vain, the Ji family can buy shares, and we will share dividends as agreed. With my backing, you won't have to do many things like before. ”

Ji Cheng has lived in the pile of silver since he was a child, and he has never hated the smell of copper, but he likes it tightly, if he doesn't like it, how can he be willing to work hard to learn from her father about the business that this man can show his strength.

Ji Cheng only hesitated for three breaths in earning a lot of silver and backbone, and then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take this job." ”

Shen Che's smile resurfaced, "These accounts can't be taken out of this secret room, it's a little shabby here, you can tell Sù Nangui all your requirements, and when you come next time, this place can be arranged to your liking." ”

It's just a small favor, and Ji Cheng disdains to be grateful. But it's better to have a room where you feel comfortable than to have her knees on the futon with sore knees.

"When it comes to the matter of Jinbei, I don't know how much Cousin Che knows. The Tan family is the biggest local snake, some things can not be solved with silver, the Ji family started too late, and it can't be compared with the Tan family at all, some things are reconciled by the Ling family, I think it will be easier to do. Ji Cheng said.

Shen Che smiled, understanding Ji Cheng's selfishness very well. She is trying her best to protect the Ling family and pull the Ling family into their boat, in case she finds a liquidation of the Ling family. The Ling family has gone much farther than the Ji family in terms of private criminals and armaments, and the piles are all sin of beheading.

"If I can reassure Ah Cheng, I can agree to let the Ling family in. However, the Ling family can only come in based on your face, and it depends on themselves whether they want to or not. Shen Che said.

Ji Cheng hurriedly said, "I understand." I also wrote in the letter that our Ji family wanted to occupy the line of ordnance, and I didn't dare to mention a word about the matter on Cousin Che's side. The letter has not been sent yet, and I dare not make my own decisions, and I will not dare to act until my cousin nods. ”

Shen Che leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Cousin is the most knowledgeable. ”

The voice was low and hoarse, and it was as mellow as oil. Ji Cheng just had the intention to seduce the man, and it was just a matter of talking about common preferences, and he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear of falling into a frivolous impression. With Ling Ziyun at that time, it was a big childhood sweetheart, and there was no ambiguous atmosphere at all.

At this moment, Shen Che leaned over to speak, and suddenly Ji Cheng smelled the kind of breath from the man that made his daughter's face red and her heart beat faster. It's not about love, but it's really flustering and I don't know how to react.

So Ji Cheng was like countless innocent and innocent girls, and lowered his eyelids in a panic and said, "I have to go back, otherwise it will be terrible if someone finds out." ”

When Ji Cheng walked out of the secret room, he was already aware of his stupidity, what a fool, what to hide, Ji Cheng secretly spat on himself, this dodge seemed to be unconfident, such a disciple should slap him back.

Ji Cheng came back to his senses after a half-breathed slap on the face, don't think about unrealistic things.

Nan Gui led the way, and Ji Cheng calmed down his feelings, trying to remember this spider-web-like underground secret passage.

As soon as he returned to his room, Ji Cheng hurriedly went to the pen and ink and drew the figure in his mind just now.

Liu Ye'er looked curiously at the dense spider web drawn in Ji Cheng's hand, "Girl, what is this?" ”

Ji Cheng closed his eyes and said, "Don't disturb me." ”

These cobwebs are only useful if they coincide with the terrain on the ground, but it is difficult to distinguish north and south underground, Ji Cheng carefully recalled the direction when he just went down the well, and compared them one by one with the Shen family's garden in his mind, it took him a night to barely figure out the general structure.

However, the correctness of this picture will have to be verified in the future.

But if Shen Che saw the painting of this picture, he was afraid that he would be frightened by Ji Cheng. After only two walks, she had completely memorized the complicated path, and even guessed that she had drawn a fifth of the entrance to the secret passage that the Shen family was hiding. The reason why the rest could not be drawn was because Ji Cheng had not walked through those secret passages.

Xu is tired, Ji Cheng has a rare good sleep, it will be dawn as soon as he sleeps, and as soon as he opens his eyes, it is another busy and tired day, Ji Cheng rolled on the bed, the quilt was sandwiched between his legs, and he was reluctant to leave the warm and quiet quilt.

Shen Che's face suddenly appeared in front of him, the heat of his snort Ji Cheng almost remembered, Ji Cheng squinted his eyes, what did Shen Che mean? Still want to be able to get both?

Ji Cheng thought of Shen Che's romantic affairs, and felt that it was not impossible. Even if Ji Cheng herself was in Shen Che's position, she wouldn't mind using a little beauty to make her subordinates loyal and obedient to her.

Ji Cheng knew that Shen Che was the same person as himself.
